2024 Streets – An Evening for Youth Empowerment

Nearly 12,000 young people aged 10-24 experience homelessness each year in Milwaukee, with Black and LGBTQ+ youth most impacted. This experience is highly correlated with lifelong housing instability. Without a safe home, young people can’t prioritize their education, employment or well-being. And they are at enormous risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

In 2009, Pathfinders created Q-BLOK: a housing program designed with and for LGBTQ+ and allied young adults. This program was one of the first of its kind in the nation.

Join us as we honor Q-BLOK’s 15-year anniversary, celebrate Trailblazer Award winner Cream City Foundation and raise much-needed funds to support Pathfinders’ housing and homelessness prevention efforts.

RSVP by Friday, April 12
